Grandmaw's Silver and the Ice Bucket

Since I only have 3 dinner forks, I borrowed my Grandmaw's silver last weekend because I had weekend guests. She bought the silver while my Pawpaw was serving in World War II. Shopping always makes us feel better, right? :) I absolutely love her silver. It's vintage, girly, and it has such a great story behind it.









It matches my new dishes perfectly


Yay! Last week I received the monogrammed ice bucket from Dabney Lee that I won from Shore Aesthetic. I love it, it's so cute! Thank you so much Shore Aesthetic!
